Meanwhile, Hillary was happily playing with her big toy, completely unaware of the unusual tone in Logan's voice. She said sweetly, “This big Barbie was given to me by my rich daddy. Rich daddy is really nice, and I love him.”
Logan’s mind went blank at her words.
Taking a deep breath, he crouched down to look at his innocent daughter and seriously emphasized, “Hillary, look at me. I... I am your... father, your... only... father!” But his voice trembled slightly.
Hillary seemed confused by her father's seriousness and asked, “But Mommy told me I have two daddies. She said you are the poor daddy, and the one who gave me gifts this morning is the rich daddy.”
Logan’s eyes widened in shock and despair. He never expected that his wife not only betrayed him but also taught their daughter to call her lover “daddy”!
If he had known this while he was in the hospital, he would have slapped Bethany hard! As Hillary's mother, how could she educate their daughter like that?
Logan was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to explain this to his daughter.
However, what Hillary said next completely shattered his mental defenses.
“Daddy, rich daddy is really nice to me. He not only buys me toys but also brings me delicious candy. But every time he comes, he goes into your room with Mommy, and then I hear Mommy crying and begging. Rich daddy...”
“Enough!” Logan suddenly grabbed her arms, interrupting her. He didn’t want to hear any more of this filthy nonsense.
His eyes were red, and he emphasized, almost hysterically, “Remember! I am your only daddy!”
Hillary stared at him with wide eyes, tears shimmering in them. Clearly, she was frightened by Logan.
“Daddy, you’re so mean! I don’t like you anymore!”
She immediately pushed Logan away, forcefully throwing down the gift he had given her, and then dragged the doll that Troy had given her back to her room.
As her bedroom door closed, Logan finally came to his senses. He looked at his hands in confusion and then slapped himself hard across the face.
How could he scare Hillary like that?! She was just a child; she didn’t understand what “rich daddy” and “poor daddy” meant. Those were all bad ideas instilled in her by Bethany!
“Bethany, you bitch! No matter what it takes, I’m going to divorce you!” Logan felt a strong resolve. He couldn’t let Bethany corrupt his precious daughter any longer.
Once Bethany was healed and discharged from the hospital, he would negotiate the divorce with her!
...
The next morning, the sound of keys turning in the lock woke Logan, who was sleeping on the couch.
Then, a sharply dressed, handsome man carefully helped Bethany inside. Her face was still a bit pale, indicating she hadn’t fully recovered.
“Bethany, why are you back? And who is this man?” Logan asked in a low voice.
Bethany glanced at Logan and mocked, “This is my home. Can you really take away my right to come home?”
From her tone, Logan could sense deep resentment and hostility.
“Mr. Logan, nice to meet you. I’m Ms. Bethany’s lawyer.” At that moment, the well-dressed man stepped in front of Logan, extending his hand with a smile.
“Lawyer?” Logan frowned, puzzled about why Bethany had brought a lawyer home.
“Yes, I will be representing Ms. Bethany in discussing the divorce matters with you.” The lawyer explained with a smile.
Logan was taken aback and caught off guard. He hadn’t expected Bethany to rush out of the hospital just to file for divorce before him, and she had even hired a lawyer without him being prepared for it.
However, getting divorced sooner was good for both him and Bethany, so Logan had no reason to disagree.
“I agree to the divorce. Bethany, what are your terms?” Logan asked.
“Read this document. If there are no issues, sign at the bottom!” The lawyer said as he handed the divorce agreement to Logan.
“Just one night, and you already have the divorce agreement ready? Bethany, it seems you can’t wait to be with your lover.” Logan couldn’t help but sneer.
But Bethany dismissed his mockery with indifference.
Logan took the divorce agreement and began to read it carefully. By the time he finished the first page, he felt it was utterly ridiculous.

CHAPTER 263
As the night grew deeper, the table emptied, leaving only Logan, Alexander, Seraphina, and Udinov nursing their drinks. Patricia had gone to check on a renovation project upstairs, giving Logan a rare moment alone with his children. He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “You’re all too busy.” Seraphina smirked. “That’s rich, coming from you.” Logan chuckled. “I know. But when was the last time you all sat like this? No boardrooms, no deals, no strategies?” None of them answered and then Logan sighed. “You were raised to be strong, to command, to win. But power without family means nothing.” Alexander exhaled, rubbing his temples. “You’re getting sentimental here, Dad.” “Maybe,” Logan admitted and continued; “Or maybe I just don’t want you three to lose what I fought so hard to build, which was not the empire, but this.” Alexander tapped the rim of his glass. “And what exactly is this?” Logan looked at them, they were his legacy, his greatest creations, he utt
CHAPTER 262
Udinov got another text from his dad's right hand that the meeting was postponed, so he decided to join Seraphina and Alexander for dinner at their family estate, then he would go back home to his parents after. Besides, the Bentley family are like his first home, he calls Patricia ‘mama’ and she treats him like a second son she never had. They boarded a flight and headed home. The Bentley Estate was standing brightly, in the twilight, its grandeur was untouched by time. The sprawling mansion was an empire in itself, it was where titans were raised. Tonight, however it was not about power or strategy, it was about family. Seraphina Bentley stepped out of her sleek car, a product of her company’s innovation. The estate’s lights illuminated the driveway, which was a path she had walked on since childhood. She didn’t need to knock, the doors swung open as if the house itself knew she had arrived. "About time," a familiar voice drawled. She smirked as Alexander leaned again
CHAPTER 261
Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov had eliminated The Black Concordat. The world was once again theirs. But power was never still. It was always shifting, always evolving. And now, they had to decide if they would rule the world as it was or if they would reshape it? They didn’t just want an empire, they wanted absolute dominion. Few months later, in a private island in the Mediterranean A meeting unlike any other had been arranged. The most powerful people in the world, billionaires, world leaders, and shadow rulers all arrived in secret, each escorted by heavily armed security. But at the center of it all, inside a grand glass-walled hall overlooking the ocean, stood three figures. They were none other than Seraphina, his twin brother Alexander Bentley and Udinov Volkov. This meeting wasn't one of negotiation, it was a declaration. Seraphina spoke first, her voice steady and commanding. "You are all here because you think you control the world, but let me make something
CHAPTER 260
With the Dominions wiped out, the Bentley-Volkov dynasty had reclaimed its throne. The war between the heirs had turned into an alliance, one built on necessity, respect, and the undeniable truth that they were stronger together. But power never truly rests, the world watched, waiting to see if Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov would hold their reign, or if a new storm was already brewing. Two months after Dominion's fall, the three heirs met again, this time in Hong Kong, inside a high-rise that belonged to Bentley International Banking. Inside the boardroom, tension crackled like a coming storm. Seraphina stood at the head of the table, her gaze sharp. "Dominion wasn’t the end." Alexander leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "Go on." She tapped on the table, and a holographic display flickered to life filled with names, locations, financial transactions. "Before Dominion fell, someone else was moving in the shadows, picking up the pieces. They call themselves The Bl
CHAPTER 259
Over the years, many years later, the world had changed. The names Bentley and Volkov were no longer just synonymous with wealth. They had become something more, they had become an unstoppable dynasty that shaped economies, influenced governments, and controlled the very pulse of power in the world. Logan Bentley and Damien Volkov had done the impossible, they had not only built an empire, but they had ensured its survival. But every empire faces its greatest challenge, because the bigger it becomes the more threats it attracts. And this time, the threat wasn’t from the outside like it used to be, this particular one was from within. Seraphina Bentley grew up to become the Visionary of the empire, she had always been so smart and took her father's brilliance and foresight. She is a strategist, a builder, a force just at the age of twenty-three, she had transformed Bentley Innovations into an empire of the future, dominating artificial intelligence, clean energy, and spac
CHAPTER 258
The next day, Troy Reece and his son stood by the balcony, he didn't allow him to go back home the night before for fear he would get abducted. There were unspoken words between them For years, Troy had imagined this very moment when he would talk to his son in person again, he had rehearsed apologies in the quiet of his guilt, whispered confessions into thin air, but now, standing before his son, no words seemed enough. Ethan’s fists clenched at his sides, his expression unreadable. There was hesitation in his eyes, a war between the hurt of abandonment and the reluctant gratitude he couldn’t ignore. The weight of Troy’s absence had shaped him in ways no one would hope for, but then the knowledge that his father had, in his own way, protected him from Arthur’s threats, from a darkness Ethan never fully understood. "You left me," Ethan said at last, his voice quiet but razor-sharp. "For years, I told myself I’d never forgive you, I even hoped we would never meet." Troy’s th
